But only one was actually visible. I mean, technically the Ahwahnee's NCC-73620 showed up in BoBW when the studio model was seen on the viewscreen. But we couldn't SEE it.

I made some compromise, while making this animation.
Arrangement of the ships after the fleet activates the tachyon grid differs from arrangement of the ships when one ship separates and the fleet re-concentrates.
Arrangement of the ships was not changed in order that I might simplify animation.
It should have been the Excalibur in my mistake that the Goddard fallen back.
Although the Akagi and the Hornet must have moved by the dialog of Capt.Picard, they are not moving on the display. The Thomas Paine and the Goddard moved on the display.
Moreover, there is also no explanation of what and the position of the Charleston and the Sutherland was changed.

Is there something special that makes the Ajax take 13, the Hood 12 and the Tian An Men 11 'tachyon' signals when the Enterprise takes 9? The Hermes and the Aries take 2 each.

Actually I guess it is easy to nit-pick the accuracy but I don't think the display was accurately displayed in the episode in accordance to the script, in the first place, so this actually makes more sense than the one on the show.
For one, the original had the Charleston and the Sutherland swapped, at one point, then suddenly they were rearranged so that they were the way you have them displayed now - which in reality makes the best sense anyway.
The theory with the Excaliburs' engine problems, which actually seemed better off the way you had it in the first place was that it was to 'fall back' and the Hornet and the Akagi were to cover for it. Then the Enterprise and the Tian Nan Men were supposed to close in the gap on the Romulans if they took the bait.
On the tactical display it looks like an ackward move but you have to consider that there is a 'z' axis involved that cannot be represented on a 2D display. So if you go back to your original mock-up of the display with the Excalibur at the 1:00 position and the Goddard still in the middle and the ThomasPaine in between the two. Have the Excalibur fall back and move the Hornet and Akagi toward that position creating the 'hole' somewhere between the Enterprise and the Tian Nan Men - instead of the dead center of the grid where the Excalibur/Goddard is/was placed.
Anyway, how the Charleston and the Sutherland changed positions is still beyond me, from the screencap I have available to how this entire thing panned out.
Regardless, I think its overall an amazing recreation considering the inconsistancies of the original.

"'I masqueraded as the leader of a tiny South American country for several weeks once after I read his name off the back of a box of cereal. It's easier than you'd think, really.'"
This is clever, if a little condescending. But I'm curious as to where and when I said it.

I was precocious in the early part of the century.
I would prefer people not read those three chapters, incidently. Yuck, awful, no good. What the internet needs is more Douglas Adams pastiche, I thought. And thanks to GeoCities it is preserved forever.

IIRC, the USS Sutherland NCC-72015 was reporting a failure of its weapon systems and how to resolve this conflict became a point of contention between Data and the executive officer.It is possible the starship was moved to the rear and the USS Charleston NCC-42285 which reported no weapons problems and, therefore was at a advantage if actual battle occured, was moved to the front echelons.
